But the American Bar Association (ABA) is there to help. The association recently released the third edition of “The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Handbook: A Practical Guide for Multinational General Counsel; Transactional Lawyers and White Collar Criminal Practitioners.”

Authored by Robert W. Tarun, a partner at Baker & McKenzie, the book focuses on the major risk areas associated with the FCPA and offers in-house counsel guidance on how to effectively manage those risks and conduct internal investigations.

During his research for the book, Tarun conducted investigations in more than 50 countries. The third edition updates more than 80 percent of the 1,020 pages to cover the latest developments in foreign corruption law.

"There's no question that FCPA enforcement, risk and compliance continue to be among the top issues on the minds of in-house counsel, and the recent attention on the DOJ-SEC Resource Guide speaks to the audience for greater clarity in this area," Tarun said in an emailed statement. "The Handbook is designed to provide comprehensive and practical guidance to lawyers navigating the complex FCPA landscape, and we're pleased to offer this latest edition to the legal community."
